How the Healthcare Industry Is Contributing to Climate Change

The healthcare industry exists to protect human life, improve public health, and respond to emergencies. Yet, behind hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, medical supply chains, and advanced healthcare technologies lies a growing environmental challenge that is often overlooked.

Globally, the healthcare sector is becoming a significant contributor to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions, energy-intensive infrastructure, medical waste generation, transportation systems, and complex supply chains.

As governments and industries worldwide commit to net-zero goals and sustainable development targets, healthcare organisations are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising patient care.

However, the reality is far more complicated. Rising patient demand, ageing populations, workforce shortages, expanding digital infrastructure, and financial pressures are making sustainability goals harder to achieve.

According to the KPMG 2025 Healthcare CEO Outlook, many healthcare leaders recognise climate risks and environmental responsibilities, yet implementation gaps continue to slow progress.

From carbon-heavy supply chains and hospital energy use to medical waste and technology adoption, the sector faces difficult trade-offs between operational efficiency and long-term sustainability.

As climate change itself increasingly threatens global health through heatwaves, pollution, pandemics, and natural disasters, the healthcare industry now finds itself at the centre of both the problem and the solution.
